SCHOOLS READY
~ BARLY IN NOV.
Phil Secadden, inspector on the
Nevada City grammar and_ high
schools states that the floors are
laid in the class rooms at Washington grammar school. The heating
Plant has ‘been installed and a test
several days ago gave wonderful results; the radiators in the northern
part of the building giving as good
heat as those near the furnace. The
large windows all over the building
: have been put in. They are arranged so as to turn at different angles
to give proper air currents in the
class rooms. About 40 per cent: of
the tile has been put on dnd the rest
is stacked in. piles on the roof.
At the high school the sheeting
and paper are on the roof of the new
wing. Tile is being hoisted up on
the building to be laid shortly.
Both buildings will be completed
within their allotted extension of
time. It is expected classes will be
able to move into both buildings
early in November.
Political control of WPA workers
confirms Farley’s prediction that
this was to be a dirty political campaign.

WHEN FIRE DEMON
RAVAGED NEVADA
CITY IN 1856
(By CATHERINE STEPHENS)
Settlement in Nevada City began
in 1850. Several small fires occyrred b,ut it was not until July f9,
1956, that the people of the now
busy and prosperous city learned
what dreadful power lies in the combined force of wind and flame.
About four o’clock on the afternoon of that memorable day a fire
was accfdently started in a ‘blacksmith shop on Pine street; it rapidly spread, igniting a brewery that
adjoined the shop, and then leaped
across the street toa hotel and a liyery stable. From there impelled by a
strung west wind, it made rapid
headway, lapping up the frail buildings with its scorching tongue, and
twining’ its long red arms of flame
about the brick ‘structures, until,
clasped in their warm embrace, they
fell crumbling to the earth. Great
was the excitement and consternation of the citizens; men rushed to
their stores or homes hoping to save
a little from the rapacious clutch of
the devourer; mothers wild with terror, hastened with their little ones
to places of safety, nor gave one
thought to the roaring flames, save
to snatch their babes from their, relentless grasp.
All attempts to stay the ohward
sweep of the flames, or to wrest from
their consuming breath anythineg* of
value, were futile. The brave and
desperate who attempted it were
compelled to abandon their hopeless
task and seek safety in flight. In
one short half hour the town lay a
heap of smouldering ruins; nearly
ll the dwelling houses, all the wooden business structures and all but six
of the twenty eight supposed fireproof buildings were consumed.
was estimated that the total loss approximated $1,500,000.
The burned district extended
from the top of the hill on Broad
street to the creek and from Spring
street, including the Baptist church
(present location of -E. T. R. Powell’s home) to Caswell’s lot on Main
Street, including the court house,
embracing a smouldering area of
160 ares.
More than the destruction of their
property, more than the sudden
plunge from prosperity to ruin, the
city mourned the loss of the brave
spirits who became victims of their
own heroic efforts to battle with the
destroyer. Ten were known to have
perished in the flames, and it was
feared that still others met the same
terrible fate.
A relief committee was immediately organized by the citizens to relieve the necessities and ease the
sufferings of the hundreds so sudPICKLING .
